      Excellent article and SO TRUE!

      In my opinion, true fashion icons were Babe Paley, Diana Vreeland and Carolina Herrera.

      And again, in my opinion, RZ is Tacky, Tacky, Tacky with NO CLASS. Just look at her minions and you'll see the fruit of her labor quite clearly.

      only naturally bigger people find her style 'tacky' or 'in poor taste'. as a naturally thin woman who is blessed w/ a high metabolism, her style really works for me. that's the thing w/ fashion, different styles for different body types. just because it doesn't work for you, doesn't mean the stylist should be banished. i'm not bashing lane bryant for making clothes for larger women, presuming it encourages women to over-eat or lead an unhealthy lifestyle. to each his or her own.

      The thing is these 'celebrities' must like her 'style'. Most of them keep employing her, even when they show up in 'trash your designer' page of magazines. So some of these Hollywood types must love her and think-if they are able-they look great. So, these 'starlets' either think they look great in what she creates or they are not shown pictures/or they can't read (the mags ripping them.)

      Rachel Zoe annoyingly doesn't give her exact age anywhere in the book; so let's just annoy her and say she's 45?!??!
      That's generous, I think! I would say she must be more like 55!

      Just another comment-first the hairstylist of the 'stars' become as famous as the stars. Now the stylists. What is next-the manicurist, their limo driver, the person who airbrushes their pics? Kind of lose anything for stars when you see how many people they need just to go out at night. Then the pictures get airbrushed on top of it. Surreal

      Hopefully this marks the beginning of the end of that 'look' that every woman under 35 is following. Everyone looks the same, they even walk, talk and act the same. Creativity has gone straight to hell. As has thinking for yourself. We are truly living in a crap time in history. They'll laugh at us when we're all dead. And anthropologists will study how brainwashed we were; the history book will read: "the world was on fire but they didn't notice because they were on e-bay bidding for designer bags they couldn't actually afford." WAKE UP EVERYONE! The media people are getting rich as they make us poor. We are brought up on US Weekly and Star TV that lies to us and makes us believe that we can have the same lifestyle as people who pull in over $20 million a year. These celebs make more money in a single year than most of us will see in our entire lifetime. Stop trying to keep up with the Beckhams (or whoever you're worshipping at the moment).

      I love her very feminine sense of style. Thank GOD that the days of those thick soled clunkie man shoes that women were wearing a couple of years ago are over. I enjoy the fact that women have so many options with fabrics and styles. Men are very limited with what they can get away with in fashion. My husband loves it when I put something sexy and feminine on. I do not however like the anorexic look. Her clients DO seem to have that in common, but hey… that is what is IN. She didnt single handedly start that trend. She went with what the industry said was in and she made it work for her. Look at Nicole Richie… her career did not begin until this woman took control of her image. It was Ms. Richie who starved herself, she didnt have to do that. Look at Lindsey Lohan she didnt starve herself. I dont know…say what you will, I think she has done pretty well for herself. I admire her sense of style. She made it to the top in her field and I admire that as well. You cant make it to the top and not have a few enemies. Right Perez?

      Re: aneurysm
      I agree with your argument, on a very basic, rational level, you're right. Style depends heavily on a person's body type AND personality. For instance, an introvert could never wear Patricia Fields, as confidence is the glue that sorta finishes what would be otherwise harum-scarum and costumey. And, it's the same for body type: a woman who is curvy or well built could never get away with such drapey, away-from-the-body pieces…it would drag her down, make her look heavy. So, I do think Zoe's style works best on waifs…
      But, while I have admitted all that, who REALLY wants to be, incessantly, in 70's garb? Really? Her style is not sophisticated, it's quite prepubescent, actually, with her clients looking always like precocious rich girls.

      This lady needs a big pastrami sandwich and get a decent haircut. By the bye, what makes a person a celebrity stylist? Are there college courses in fashion styling? I feel very sorry for the "stars" who have no confidence or creativity to dress themselves. In the old Hollywood days, studios had their important designers coach and dress the stars before public functions. And they had totally different personalities. Now everyone is a clone, tan skinned, highlighted hair, messy, whorish, tacky and stupid. Sorry.

      Ok, I agree that she's way too thin, creates copies of herself, and doesn't have a very original sense of style. But she's successful and rich. Because she's so unoriginal, her 15 minutes will be up in no time flat.

      That was a great article. I was actually somewhat curious to see what her book was like…if she had anything to say besides: get a tan, wear a trillon braclets and lots floaty dresses and tops. I guess not.

    46. paulie says – reply to this


      46

      I can't believe she's 36 (only 2 years older than me) and she looks 46! Sad so sad. I like SOME of the outfits/looks I've seen her put together for some celebrities, but the truth is most of her looks only look good if you're a stick surviving on carrots and coffee. Maybe Britney Spears would benefit in hiring Rachel… she might lose a few pounds and dress better. Does Rachel do pro-bono work? LOL p.s. Leonardo.. the truth is when these celebutards dress themselves they don't look nearly as well put together as when they hire a stylist. Something happens to your brain when you read too many scripts/memorize too many songs/dance routines… especially if you're "new money"… they don't realize its not about how much money you spend on an outfit, it's the way you put it together. I've looked better wearing Forever 21 than some celebrities who spend thousands on clothes in a month (initials BS).

      Enough on the Zoe bashing. Why is it that when someone gets successful, everyone feels the need to push them down? Who cares that she styles Young Hollywood? Obviously people respect her or she wouldn't still be in business. If her well publicized fight with Nicole Richie never happened, you wouldn't even mention her. Give it a rest, already, people!

      51

      Well, U.K.'r Liz Jones would rip size zeros as Wikipedia lists her as a former anorexic and suffers from OCD, so just the idea of a forced size zero might irk her. Fashion is subjective, and Rachel Zoe put together some great outfits. I can't say I remember any U.K. standouts fashion wise, but am also not exposed to a lot over the pond, so whatever. Zoe could also probably rip literally into some of Jones' fashion choices as well, but the fact remains that there are as many different but correct fashion choices out there as there are body sizes, so this sounds like a bit of an unecessary low blow to a colleague who she may not have even met, IMHO. Meow.

      52

      Re: aneurysm – I totally agree with your sentiments. Regardless of how Zoe looks, there's no denying that she has had a very strong influence on what women have been wearing for the last couple of years. Although Nicole was obviously WAY too skinny, her outfits always looked amazing - easily the most stylish of young Hollywood starlets. This has to be credited to RZ. Nicole may have distanced herself but she still dresses the way RZ used to style her - bcos she knows it looked great! As a stylist she deserves top marks but should leave her influence to fashion, not dietary advice.

      Her dress size matches her importance……she's a big, fat zero.
      That "ultra skinny look" just gives girls ugly, old man ass and old bag faces. She manages to turn pretty, young girls into crypt keepers.
      WTF is it with women in hollywood? It's either creepy plastic surgery with bleached hair/orange skin (I swear I thought one of the OC housewhores had to be a burn victim,) or emaciated corpses with giant ornaments hanging off their disgusting little limbs….or a little of both. And idiots pay GOOD MONEY to look that ugly!!!

      You are clearly an ass. How did you manage to get from that extra thin mess to Lane Bryant? She is not "naturally" thin, she doesnt freakin eat! She encourages the same unhealthy life style in her clients and clearly you are dense enough to believe that is natural. Idiot! There is a middle ground, people with bodies that dont resemble a 10 year old and a size 14 and above…and incase you are wondering im a size 4…with a perfect ass and boobs that will make you wish for steak and potatoes every day of the week!!!

      Is she mean? I HATE ripping on someone nice, BUT…How an artist can argue that entertaining in a restaurant is preferable to ones own home…is beyond me. Sadly, she comes across as silly, narrowminded and immature. The review reveals that the depth lacking in the looks she creates, is simply a reflection of the limited scope of her passion to explore. It is clear that she is first and foremost a business woman, for which she is reaping the rewards of her effort. Rachel would have been better suited to write a proffessional guide to building relationships within the fashion industry. Perhaps then, she would be remembered as an innovator as opposed to a peddler of frivolous advice, devoid of any true originality.

      I couldnt agree more with the article! I think Mischa Barton, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie are TERRIBLE dressers. They way too trendy for my taste and try way too damn hard. I think the idea of a stylist is lame as fuck. If I had millions of dollars, I damn wouldn't need a broad like Rachel Zoe telling me to buy the disgusting clothes that all the skinny, untalented idiotic bitches in Hollyweird are wearing. I would shop for myself.

      Re: Devon J – You are clearly an ass. How do you know that RZ isn't naturally that thin. I eat all the time…3 meals a day and I am just as thin as RZ. Do you have proof that she encourages her clients? I like RZ's style for thinner people but I'm not a huge RZ fan. However, I do believe that us thin people deserve more respect. EVERYONE THINKS WE ARE ANOREXIC…which after awhile can really bring down one's self esteem. And you being a size 4 should understand this…you should not be sticking up for obese people.

      you can't blame Zoe for reiterating all the cliche bs that hollywood has been saying for years: "you can't be too rich or too thin;" early '80s madonna -please!; skinny jeans; "don't eat;" "do coke to lose weight" … she's unoriginal but taking the burnt of a myriad tasteless and endless fads.
